The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for facilitating login on a website.

BACKGROUND

A service provider, e.g. providing a media streaming service, may provide the service via either or both of a web application on a web site of the service provider and a service application (app/client) installed on a user device such as a smartphone. A user may be logged into the service via the web site and/or via the app. The user may even be logged in via the web site from the same smartphone which has the app installed thereon, by means of a web browser installed on the smartphone. The user may e.g. be continuously logged in via the app (since there may be no reason to log out from the service since the smartphone is only used by the user) while only occasionally logging in via the web site (for instance for performing payments or the like which is not supported via the app). The user than has to remember his/her user name and password, and log in also via the web site.

SUMMARY

It is an objective of the present invention to facilitate login on a website by a radio device by taking advantage of the fact that the user is already logged into a service application running on the radio device. The website may be part of the corresponding web application of the service of the service application whereby login to the service via the web site is facilitated by the user already being logged in to the service via the app.

According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method performed in a radio device for facilitating login on a website. The method comprises, by means of a web browser in the radio device, downloading a web page of the website from a web server hosting the website. The method also comprises receiving a login request from the web server, the login request comprising a request for login information for a service from a service application of the service in the radio device. The method also comprises, in response to the received login request and by means of the service application, automatically sending a login token request to a server of a service provider providing the service. The method also comprises, from the server of the service provider, receiving a login token response comprising a login token. The method also comprises, to the web server, sending a login information message comprising the login token.

According to another aspect of an embodiment, there is provided a computer program product comprising computer-executable components for causing a radio device to perform an embodiment of the method performed in the radio device, when the computer-executable components are run on processor circuitry comprised in the radio device.

According to another aspect of an embodiment, there is provided a radio device comprising processor circuitry, and a storage unit storing instructions executable by said processor circuitry whereby said radio device is operative to, by means of a web browser in the radio device, download a web page of the website from a web server hosting the website. The radio device is also operative to receive a login request from the web server, the login request comprising a request for login information for a service from a service application of the service in the radio device. The radio device is also operative to, in response to the received login request and by means of the service application, automatically send a login token request to a server of a service provider providing the service. The radio device is also operative to, from the server of the service provider, receive a login token response comprising a login token. The radio device is also operative to, to the web server, send a login information message comprising the login token.

According to another aspect of an embodiment, there is provided a method performed by a web server for facilitating login on a website hosted on the web server. The method comprises uploading a web page of the website to a web browser of a radio device. The method also comprises sending a login request to a service application in the radio device, the login request comprising a request for login information for a service of the service application.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flow chart of embodiments of a method performed in a radio device 1, in accordance with an embodiment. The method is for facilitating login on a website hosted on a web server 5.

In accordance with an embodiment, by means of the web browser 23 in the radio device, a web page of the website is downloaded 41 from the web server 5 hosting the website. The web page may be a login web page for logging in to the website, or the web page may comprise a clickable option which requires the user to login to the website. Thus the user may click on a button, e.g., for making a purchase (which requires the user to be logged in to be executed). In some embodiments, the login request is triggered by a user of the radio device 1 inputting a command to the downloaded 41 web page via the user interface 26 of the radio device.

In accordance with an embodiment, a login request is received from the web server 5, the login request comprises a request for login information for a service from the service application 22 of the service, the service application running in the radio device. The login request, which may have been triggered by an action of the user on the web page or by simply entering (downloading) the web page is sent from the web server 5 to the app 22. Typically, the user is already logged in to the service via the app 22, allowing the user to be automatically logged in to the web site on the web server 5.

In accordance with an embodiment, in response to the received 42 login request and by means of the service application 22, the radio device 1 automatically sends 44 a login token request to a server of a service provider 4 providing the service. Optionally, if the app 22 is not currently running on the radio device 1, the radio device in response to the received 42 login request and before automatically sending 44 the login token request, starts 43 the service application 22 by running application software 31A stored in the radio device. As previously mentioned, the web server 5 may or may not be a server of the SP 4, why the radio device may in some embodiments send 44 the login token request to the web server 5. However, login information is typically held in a separate server of the SP 4.

In accordance with an embodiment, then, from the server of the service provider 4, the radio device 1 (typically the app 22 in the radio device) receives 45 a login token response comprising a login token. The token may be in accordance with the OAuth authorization standard.

In accordance with an embodiment, then the radio device sends 46, to the web server 5, a login information message comprising the login token. The login token allows the web server 5 to automatically log in the user to the website.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flow chart of embodiments of a method performed in a web server 5. The method is for facilitating login on a website hosted on the web server and may be the corresponding web server method to the radio device method discussed in relation to FIG. 4. The discussion in relation to FIG. 4 is thus in applicable parts also relevant to the method of FIG. 5.

In accordance with an embodiment, the web server uploads 51 a web page of the website to a web browser 23 of the radio device 1. Then, the web server sends 52 the login request to the service application 22 in the radio device. The login request comprises a request for login information for a service of the service application. The login information is information allowing the web server to log in the user of the radio device 1 to log on to the service via the website. In response, the web server 5 receives 54, from the radio device 1, the login information message comprising the login token. Optionally, the web server 5 may, before the receiving 54 of the login information message, upload 53 the web page of a Return URL to the web browser 23. The login information message may comprise the Return URL of a web page on the website, and wherein the login token may be for logging in on the web page of the Return URL. Then, the web server automatically logs in 55 on the website by means of the received 54 login token. Thus, the user of the radio device has automatically been logged in on the website, via the browser 23, by being already logged in to the service via the app 22.

In some embodiments, the login request comprises a private key, corresponding to a public key held by the service application 22, i.e. the login request to the app 22 is signed with the private key. The data of the login request may be hashed, and the hash may be encrypted with the private key, whereby the encrypted hash is the signature with which the login request is signed. Thus, the app 22 can verify that the login request has been sent by a an element which knows the private key, allowing the service application to verify that the web server 5 is authorized to receive the login information which it asks for with the login request.

In some embodiments, the login request comprises a Return URL, informing the radio device on which web page the login information should be used. The login request may be in accordance with a Custom URL Scheme, e.g., of Android or iOS.

FIG. 6 is a schematic signalling diagram illustrating embodiments of the present invention. It should again be noted that the web server 5 may or may not be a server of the service provider 4. For clarity, the web server 5 has been positioned separate from the service provider 4 in FIG. 6.

In accordance with an embodiment, the web browser 23, typically on instructions from the user of the radio device 1, requests to enter a website (or a specific page of the website) by sending a website request A to the web server 5 hosting the website. In response, the webserver uploads S1/51 web page B to the web browser. Optionally, the web browser 23 sends a login trigger C to the web server 5 (e.g. as a result of input from the user via the UI 26 as discussed herein). In response to the login trigger C, or to the uploading of the webpage B, the web server 5 sends S2/52 a login request D to the app 22 via the browser 23. The login request D may comprise a signature of a private key (to verify that the web server is authorised to request the login), a ttl (for specifying how long the request is valid) and/or a Return URL which is the URL of the webpage on which the login should be executed.

In accordance with an embodiment, the login request D prompts the radio device 1 to start 43 the app 22 (if it is not already running). In reaction to the received login request D, the app 22 sends 44 a token request E to the SP 4, requesting a login token from the SP 4 for logging in the user of the radio device 1 to the website hosted by the web server 5 (e.g. a website of the SP 4). In response, the SP 4 sends a token response F comprising the login token, e.g. an OAuth token. In the meantime, the web browser 23 may download 53 the webpage of the Return URL (in this way, the user will access the Return URL page even if automatic login fails, e.g. because the user is not logged in via the app 22 or if the user does not have the app installed on the radio device).

In accordance with an embodiment, the app 22 sends 46/54, via the browser 23, a login information message G to the web server 5. The login information message G comprises the login token, e.g. in the fragment part of the Return URL (#OAuthtoken). By means of the received login token, the web server 5 can then automatically login 55 the user to the website. Optionally, the login webpage (e.g. the Return URL page) may comprise a Forward URL, prompting the web browser 23 to download the webpage of the Forward URL upon the automatic login 55.

Thus, a user can be automatically logged in to a website by means of already being logged in to a service via an app, without having to actively log in or otherwise approve login on the website.
